Golden Lion Theatre Festival Roars Into Town

The annual Golden Lion festival is not just a carnival but a European theatrical tradition in its own right. It is also one of the most prestigious cultural forums from which modern Ukraine has established an international presence. Founded in 1989 before independence, the Golden Lion has transformed the streets of Lviv into lively theatre stages every autumn, providing vivid impressions and creating a true European carnival atmosphere. This year’s festival will delight Leopolitan theatre lovers and guests of the city with performances by troupes from Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Georgia, Hungary, and – of course- Ukraine. Tickets for festival performances range in price from 100 to 300 UAH.
